eBike Safety Training Revolutionizes Rider Education

Major cycling and motor safety groups partner on new training platform

As eBikes continue gaining traction across America, concerns around rider safety have followed closely behind. To meet that growing need, PeopleForBikes and the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) have officially launched the eBike eCourse, an interactive online program that helps new and inexperienced riders develop safer habits. This collaboration brings together decades of expertise in cycling and motor safety, offering a digital resource built for a new generation of electric riders. E-Bike sales rising nationwide, the timing couldn’t be more critical.

The course delivers more than just basic riding tips

Available now at eBikeCourse.com, the new training uses videos, quizzes, and real-world examples to prepare riders for safe riding in both urban and rural environments. Participants learn essential concepts like road etiquette, battery safety, interactions with traffic, and how to avoid crashes. One standout feature is the guided setup for a controlled practice area, giving new riders the confidence they need before entering traffic-heavy areas. Most importantly, participants receive a completion certificate, which schools, law enforcement, and local communities can use to authorize eBike use on campuses or private property.

A proactive approach to a fast-changing transportation trend

Instead of reacting to rising crash reports and calls for stricter enforcement, this course puts education front and center. “We believe a safety education course for new and inexperienced eBike riders plays a powerful role in the solution,” said Jenn Dice, President and CEO of PeopleForBikes. “Our policy team tracks legislation in all 50 states. Communities everywhere are looking for ways to increase safety without limiting access to e-mobility. This course helps do just that.” By targeting youth riders while also inviting parents and guardians to join, the course promotes safety at every level.

Trusted safety leadership now focused on eBikes

The Motorcycle Safety Foundation has been a staple in the motorcycling world for over 50 years. By collaborating with PeopleForBikes, MSF extends its training reach into the fast-growing eBike category. “We’ve trained generations of riders,” said Christy LaCurelle, MSF President and CEO. “Now we’re proud to support eBike safety too. While the course was designed with young riders in mind, the information is relevant to all ages. Parents should absolutely take it alongside their kids.” That inclusive mindset reflects the growing role of eBikes as a family-friendly transportation tool.

Built-in tools support schools and organizations

Unlike traditional online courses, the eBike eCourse was developed with community application in mind. Schools, clubs, and homeowners’ associations can easily track which participants have completed the training. This feature creates a structured way to manage eBike usage policies across shared spaces and school grounds. Additionally, it reinforces responsible riding through official documentation—making safety feel like part of the ride, not a barrier to entry.

Empowering communities through education

As more cities embrace active transportation and look for alternatives to car dependency, educating riders becomes essential. This course is a key piece of that puzzle. By making training accessible and enjoyable, PeopleForBikes and MSF are helping riders feel confident while keeping everyone else on the road safer too. What’s more, they’re removing financial and logistical obstacles to proper training—proof that safety doesn’t have to be complicated when organizations come together with purpose Just Now News.
